2 injured after fire breaks out at Reseda apartment building

RESEDA, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A fire broke out at an apartment building in Reseda overnight, leaving two people injured and several families without a home.

The fire was reported around 11 p.m. Thursday near White Oaks Avenue and Sherman Way, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Firefighters responded to heavy flames shooting from multiple units at the two-story apartment complex but residents say it took a while for crews to arrive.

Two people were taken to the hospital but their condition was unknown.
